Alla:

No, not at all.  I meant to say that this scene could be example of 
indirect punishment for Draco, if JKR indeed does not want to punish 
Draco directly, but wanted to show the reader that he indeed would 
be punished somehow.

And yes, I know that this is not exactly the right meaning 
of "vicarious retribution"
